The ultimate choice for new pilots and our most popular sport kite, the Quantum’s impressive 7-foot wingspan is full-sized for serious pull and excitement in a wide wind range. Carefully engineered to make learning a snap, the Quantum’s wide wind range, adjustable bridle, and light but tough carbon frame make it the kite you can learn on easily but never outgrow.
Our innovative shock absorber in the tail and Kevlar-reinforced nose are designed to protect your kite from those unplanned landings. Once you’ve mastered the basics, a simple bridle adjustment will tune the kite for tighter turns, stronger pull, and sporty control response. Built with the same precision and attention to detail as our top-end competition kites, the Quantum has hooked more people on sport kites than any other and it’s our first recommendation to anyone getting into the sport.
DESIGN FEATURES:
Crash protection for new pilots
Our innovative shock absorber in the tail and Kevlar-reinforced nose are designed to protect your kite from those unplanned landings.
Advanced tuning
A special bridle feature allows you to adjust the kite’s responsiveness for your skill level. Start flying with the forgiving setting. For new pilots this provides easier control and wider turns. As your skills advance, switch to the radical setting for snappy cornering, stronger pull, and more advanced tricks.
Adjustable bridle
The bridle geometry is easy to fine tune for light to strong winds. It’s not necessary to move your bridle from the factory setting, but doing so will let you fly in an even wider wind range. Simply slide the friction knots toward the “light wind” setting for lighter breezes or towards the “strong wind” setting for windy days. Limit points on the bridle will keep you from over-tuning the kite out of flying range.
Two-piece leading edge and spreaders
Lets you fold the kite down to 24" to fit in a suitcase or backpack.
Custom molded leading edge connectors
Engineered to flex with the leading edge, these special ferrules prevent breakage at the stress point.
Color-coded line attachment clips
Make it quick and easy to hook up your lines, no knots required.

WOW Love the new sail designs this year. I flew the original and thought it was a good Kite. This years kite is Better and has a few minor little things that show and improve the Looks and flying of the kite.
For the Basic beginner, The shock absorbing system that is built into this kite is Magnificent! The keel has a Bungee cord built into the sail. As does the wing tips now. So if you should ever nose this kite in. The whole sail just absorbs energy everywhere. Not breaking the leading edges or keel all that easy.
So now lets fly this Baby. It is nice and slow in its turning in its original configuration. You can easily adjust for the wind speeds up to 20mph and down to about 6Mph. Nice easy flying all day long. With a good amount of pull. The adjustable bridal will easily allow you to grow into a better kite as you move Up the chain and into competing with BASKL pilots if you wanted to.
Cheap Price, Hours of FUN, Kid friendly, Adult Almost proof, Directions and Very good line set included. All say Buy One have some Tail twisting fun A.S.A.P!~!
